Can a resident of Delaware Township run for tax collector and magisterial judge at the same time? Pennsylvania law states: No person shall at the same time hold more than one elective township office. Would you want that person to hold either position after finding out they are running for both? Does this person have a good code of ethics or the integrity to hold either position?

Dennis Lee is circulating two petitions in order to obtain signatures, one for Delaware Township tax collector and one for district magistrate that covers Porter, Delaware and Lehman townships. A public servant should be dedicated to his position. Is Dennis Lee trying to guarantee himself a job? What are his real motives? When he asks you to sign his petition, maybe you should ask him these questions.
